Farmers Up Security After Latest Apex Court Directions
Hindustan Times Ludhiana|December 29, 2024
KHANAURI: Farm activists at the Khanauri border point have upped security vigil around the protest site, fearing that the Punjab government might once again try to whisk away the fasting veteran farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal and get him hospitalized.

The steps came in the wake of the Supreme Court's order that gave the Punjab government time till December 31 to persuade Dallewal, who has been fasting since November 26, to shift to hospital.

The apex court on Saturday granted the state government additional time to comply with its December 20 order and instructed the Centre to provide logistical support if requested.

The Punjab government, while acknowledging the court's concerns, maintained that the government was in a difficult position.

"The entire protest site is under siege by farmers," Punjab advocate general Gurminder Singh argued in the court.
